And here's your startup idea: Build a complete and configurable front-end to Stripe Billing that does all the hard work behind the scenes and lets existing Stripe users "upgrade" to billing without the implementation pain. I've researched something like this some months ago and couldn't find anything that had the quality and features we needed. I'm sure lots of companies would pay for a solution like this (my company included).

I had a similar impression when I was implementing Stripe for my business. It seems like there's a lot of boilerplate and heavy-lifting that I would have preferred to just abstract away using some existing service instead of spending the hours on getting it working in a way others probably already have. Would you be open to sharing your thoughts on how you'd like something like this to work? I might be interested in giving it a shot. My email address is hello@wyatt.engineer

  You put in all the effort to put up a cypher to unlock your email address on your profile and then just give away the gold in one fell swoop ;)

  I have something just about ready to launch that tries to do this. My goal is to make creating web apps as simple as blogging is when you use WordPress. https://userappstore.com/public/2-powered-by-dashboard.png https://userappstore.com/public/2-powered-by-dashboard.png https://github.com/userappstore/dashboard https://github.com/userappstore/dashboard I am putting the finishing polish and fixes on a platform and marketplace using this software, just working on the final integration tests that verify it all works together.

I know it's not specific to Stripe, but it seems there are products out there like ChargeBee that cover a lot of the use case.

That sounds a bit like Drew Wilson's Plasso, which was recently acquired by GoDaddy and promptly shut down. https://web.archive.org/web/20181206180323/https://plasso.com/ https://web.archive.org/web/20181206180323/https://plasso.co...
